Do Bed Bugs Die in Winter? The Truth About Temperature Tolerance

Bed bugs are sensitive to temperature, but they can withstand more than you might expect.

Research shows that they begin to die after several hours of exposure to temperatures below -17 °C.

However, even at sub-zero temperatures, many bed bugs can enter a state of dormancy known as “diapause”, allowing them to survive until the environment warms up again. In heated homes, they remain active throughout the winter.

Central heating keeps modern homes within the ideal temperature range of 20–25°C, allowing infestations to persist regardless of the weather outside.

This means that winter offers no natural break from bed bug activity.

Sometimes, colder months can make infestations worse, as people spend more time indoors and may inadvertently spread the bugs between rooms or properties.

However, freezing can kill bed bugs if done correctly. Items such as clothing, bedding, or small furniture that are sealed in plastic and placed in a freezer set to -18°C or lower for at least four days can work.

This technique destroys both adult bed bugs and their eggs. However, this method is only practical for small objects—not for entire rooms or buildings.
